"Aviation security is, clearly, an issue of the greatest importance for both workers and passengers. However, it seems necessary to us to guarantee this security without calling into question the freedoms and guarantees of individuals. The document adopted by the majority in Parliament, which follows in the wake of the panic that has spread about the ‘escalating terrorist threat’, seeks to implement the method of body scanning at EU level. By stressing the speed and effectiveness of this method, the report is twisting people’s concerns, and is consequently ignoring the fundamental issue: that this method is a veritable assault on the dignity and privacy of passengers.
Furthermore, its effectiveness is contested, although the report does not mention this. However, the report does not omit all the risks associated with this equipment. Whilst advocating the use of scanners, it does not fail to mention that ‘exposure to doses of cumulative ionising radiation cannot be acceptable’ because it increases the risk of skin cancer. It is also unacceptable that this solution is advocated, in spite of this. Another disconcerting issue is the difficulty of guaranteeing passengers effective protection for their data and images generated by the scanners: this situation could once again constitute a violation of dignity and privacy."@en1
